  • Prelate's online lover approached church about alleged improper conduct
  • Claimed to have evidence Italian priest was having sex with prostitutes
  • Also said the priest took part in explicit gay web chats and sexual role play
  • He allegedly made lovers pretend to be Judas so he could 'punish' them


An Italian priest has been sacked amid claims that he took part in gay orgies with a Swiss Guard.

The prelate was sacked from a religious order in Taranto after one of his online lovers contacted the church authorities with a dossier containing alleged evidence of sex with prostitutes, role play and explicit gay web chats.

The priest allegedly favoured sexual role-play scenarios in which his lover played the disciple Judas Escariot, and had to atone for his betrayal of Jesus by becoming his slave.
